I've always written songs since I was a kid - always.

I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story.

I will say that a lot of songs that I've written are from my own personal experiences which are special to me.

I don't want to think that anything is off limits for me to write about, but I also don't want to intrude on anybody's life, which is why there's very little specificity or names in the songs I write.

I try to write lyrics so that they won't age, which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.

I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.

I've been writing and composing songs since I was 5 years old.

I feel like my songs are like diary entries for me. So I usually write about things that have happened to me specifically or sometimes it can be someone who's close to me.

I'm a songwriter who's put my childhood memories and teenage angst into songs.

I've been writing songs all my life. My mom said I wrote my first song when I was two.
